This and i just want to put it in the back of the fear and drove off of one of the hospital and just told the doctors that it was courtin across my it was going straight didnt it you its all about the ball but there was no fighting there was only one gunshot it went off and it was the god shot that killed but then you know. 100 sticks of the streets of johannesburg suburb Eldorado Park to demand justice and condemn Police Violence. How did it all that then only start now foodstuff people actually knows what the police are superior to the french if you believe give me all that water park. And i think it was shot on the bottom and i think that was the day that the child. Would make this child. Demonstrators banned tires and barricaded rights and said they were met with live fire from the police i mean david mentioned using against those 2 men to go in. Police say theyre investigating how Nathaniel Julius was killed but residents here are convinced its the police who are to blame and a calling for the arrest of the officer responsible. And he. Joins me from johannesburg headed to still there and a geisha that police try to cover up this shooting tell us more about that theyre going to have to do visions for more of the police are telling us and what the residents in fact saying there is a dozens are saying the young boy was killed when police were questioning him and police just from knowing the short they had bullets and the child was down and killed and their allege that the police tried to took the child to the put to the hospital something that they say the police if they were not covering they should have waited for an ambulance to do that but on their side the police are saying they never wanted to cover up they wanted to help the child in fact they are saying the child did not drop died because of it but they are saying there was a gang that was fighting and shooting each other in the child was the if victim off the crossfire when those gangs are fighting but according to the residents this was just a cover up the statement that the child was if victim of Gang Violence is a cover up the fact that they wanted to take the child themselves gospodar without calling in this was a cover up so these are contradicting statements that are coming from both the residents and the police we do know that a Police Watchdog is now investigating this shooting there is a Police Officer who has been singled out to allegedly fired the fatal shot he goes by the name scorpion hes known to the community what more do we know about this Police Officer.

The coming of the Police Minister there left a residence angrier than what to deal with before he arrived because he went in to see to speak to the family after speaking with the family came out to address residents what to say it is that.
